David, Linda & Tes on SV Starshine. "The Salon Dock", Christine getting a trim from her daughter off SV Solskin. Farrell was below working on the engine. Cruising = "Working on your boat in exotic locations".

Also, in port were Mike & Gladys on SV Last Mango, John on SV Dream Catcher. We just missed Todd, Susan & Sequoia on SV Sugatta.

The Amtrak station in San Diego is where all the public transportation comes together.

Primates at the Zoo.

The San Diego Zoo a world class venue for the world's animals. We took over 150 pictures, edited down to 68, with our favorites added here.

We motored to Oceanside and spend the night at a dock in front of the "Jolly Roger" Pub. We met Ken, Linde and Roger (the hairy one on the left) from SV Rosebud and had dinner with them in the pub. A great evening with new friends.

Jim & Julie on Worldwind, their Westsail 32, were next to us on the Newport Beach Municipal Dock. A beautiful location at the entrance to the harbor, but exposed to swells. To minimize the rolling action we tied to both sides of the dock with several spring lines. The boat was suspended between the docks and the roll action was dampened by the spring lines.
